Americans concerned over the spread of disease have a new
source to worry
We have known for some time that hospitals are breeding grounds
for bacterial and viral infections with deadly fury
And photos of rats the size of footballs in homeless encampments
as disease carriers have been the cause of great concern
But residing in homeless camps another disease running
rampant we now learn
Shigella is a bacterial disease found in human feces causing
diarrhea, dehydration and cramps
Thrives and is easily transmitted in sanitation
deficient homeless camps
Having sexual contact, sharing drinking containers and caring for others are
typical transmission vectors
In cities with large and growing number of homeless another
growing problem for the public health sector
A million from the disease die worldwide each year
But here in the U.S. cases of death seem to not yet have
appeared
But with emergency wards overrun by illegals and homeless
only a question of time
Given in homeless encampment the overwhelming amount of human
waste, filth and grime
